Notes:
Maynard Ferguson's connection to Middle Eastern themes in music was not a significant aspect of his career. His work primarily focused on jazz and big band music. However, Ferguson's adventurous musical spirit and his interest in incorporating diverse influences into his music occasionally led to the use of exotic scales or rhythmic patterns that might evoke Middle Eastern or other non-Western musical traditions. Any such influences would likely have been integrated into his overall jazz and big band style rather than being an explicit exploration of Middle Eastern themes.
